Jacket worn by Michael Jackson in the Thriller music video
The Thriller jacket at the Grammy Museum
The Thriller jacket is the red jacket worn by Michael Jackson in the music video for his 1983 hit "Thriller". Designed by Deborah Nadoolman Landis, the candy-apple-red jacket featured black stripes and raised shoulders forming an inverted triangle. The jacket became the "hottest outerwear fad of the mid-1980s" and was widely emulated.[1] Because counterfeit copies of the jacket could sell at over $500, in 1984 Jackson filed a lawsuit in New York City to prevent unauthorized copies of the jacket and his other merchandise.[2]
On 27 June 2011, the jacket sold for $1.8 million at Julien's Auctions.[3] The buyer, Milton Verret, described the jacket as "the greatest piece of rock and roll memorabilia in history".[4][5] The proceeds from the jacket were donated to the Shambala Animal Kingdom, where Jackson's Bengal tigers were housed when he left Neverland Ranch in 2006.[6]
